A Louisville businessman exploring a Republican primary against U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is setting up meetings with Tea Party groups in Central Kentucky. David Adams, a tea party activist from Central Kentucky, said he's planning to meet with Bevin next week in Lexington with other activists to familiarize themselves with Matt Bevin, the possible Republican Senate candidate and a Louisvillian who runs the Connecticut-based Bevin Brothers Manufacturing.

"We're looking for general agreement on issues and then as time permits, try to get more specific on that agreement or disagreement, judging how viable a candidacy might be," Adams said.

Bevin's supporters reached out to Adams for the meeting.

"That day is still yet to be determined, the location will be Lexington, but that's just one meeting that's part of a larger on-going process," Adams said.

Several Kentucky Tea Party groups are recruiting primary challengers to McConnell—Bevin among them, Adams said. Other possible challengers may emerge, but Bevin said he expects Kentucky Tea Party groups will rally around a single candidate.
